So what EXACTLY is Innovation?  It’s a word that is thrown around a lot these days. I have created a unique 3 step method that I use in all my work--from work with my private clients, to how I help you design and grow a profitable brick and mortar and online health and fitness brand.It’s allowed me to pivot and re-invent myself many times--most notably after the COVID pandemic about decimated our industry.  Listen in and hear me explain ‘the PNF Method’.  What I share you can apply to your personal self care, or self care for your business, mindset or approach as an entrepreneur.Leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser!SHOW LINKS: Take advantage of our new ACCOUNTABILITY UPGRADE!  AT $99 a month it’s a steal.  https://cufitness.com/AccountabilityBundleIf you are a health/fitness/wellness entrepreneur, or a coach join our NEW group for coaches and entrepreneurs:   INNOVATE and GROW for Fitness, Health, Wellness and Coaching Entrepreneurs | FacebookBecome a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/www.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

One of the best things about my show is when I get to interview a fellow entrepreneur about his/her philosophy of self care.Listen in to my chat with fellow health/fitness entrepreneur Rita Farrugia--whose journey led her from ditching a pattern of toxic behaviors to starting her own business and e-commerce site of products and services to promote her self care behaviors.Rita explains her creation process behind what she sells and how she talks about it as part of her message.Why is this important?Because you can spend a lot of money on ‘fillers’ to make yourself feel better and fill a void-but at the day there needs to be something GREATER behind it to sustain you.   What we do DAILY can be part of our NEW story. Everything we do is a journey.  Every day is part of that journey.Listen to Rita’s story and philosophy and check out her store!GUEST LINKS:Rita’s website:  http://www.happybeingwell.com/ ********************************The Ultimate Journey of Self Care is proud to be partners with ‘Flat River Infusions’.A NC hemp company that manufactures all natural products.www.flatriverinfusions.comUse the code ‘cufitness’ to get a 20% discount off all purchases.*********************************SHOW LINKS:Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/If you are a health/fitness/wellness entrepreneur, or a coach --join our NEW group for coaches and entrepreneurs:   INNOVATE and GROW for Fitness, Health, Wellness and Coaching Entrepreneurs | Facebookwww.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

So why challenge yourself?First of all, you always find out you can do more than you think.  As creatures of habit--we tend to think of why something won’t work before we think of all the ways it CAN work.  And when we challenge ourselves in even the smallest of ways--we discover we can do MORE.Listen in to this episode and hear my 6 tips and ideas for challenging yourself--and how it can apply to your own journey of self care. *************************************The Ultimate Journey of Self Care is proud to be partners with ‘Flat River Infusions’.A NC hemp company that manufactures all natural products.www.flatriverinfusions.comUse the code ‘cufitness’ to get a 20% discount off all purchases.***********************************SHOW LINKS:Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/If you are a health/fitness/wellness entrepreneur, or a coach --join our NEW group for coaches and entrepreneurs:   INNOVATE and GROW for Fitness, Health, Wellness and Coaching Entrepreneurs | Facebookwww.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

Changing habits can be challenging, or empowering.  Or both.  Last week, I had the opportunity to attend an amazing event in person with a group of fabulous coaches and I had some major takeaways.Changing habits is tough on your own--but can be  empowering when you are in the room with those that challenge you, inspire you, and push you from the safety net you are used to holding. We are creatures of habit--and we tend to do things the same way, over and over.  And when we decide to step up, big things happen.Listen to this episode as we continue on our ‘Habit Audit’ theme for September as I share 3 big tips to making changes.  The magic happens when you connect IN PERSON.Check out our retreat link for our upcoming retreats:  www.cufitnessretreats.com ********************************** The Ultimate Journey of Self Care is proud to be partners with ‘Flat River Infusions’.A NC hemp company that manufactures all natural products.www.flatriverinfusions.comUse the code ‘cufitness’ to get a 20% discount off all purchases.**********************************SHOW LINKS:Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/www.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Instagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats
